I don't understand the question. Not your question. THE question. I've own'd and shot Bright Stainless, Bright Nickel, bead blasted mat stainless and mat (USFA) Nickel. Cloudy days, Bright Sunny days, Foggy days. I "personally" idi not find the bright guns to be a problem. I did however, find the SIGHTS on bright guns to be a problem. Had to take a black magic marker to the rear of the rear sight so it would outline the front sight. I don't consider that as being "hard on the eyes." Perhaps I don't understand the problem some folks are describing??
